Joy is the wife of Jeff and mom to three more J's — Jaden, Jerah, and Joely.

She and her husband have been homeschooling their children since 2005, when their children were 3, 6, and 8. Joy works from home as a graphic designer and spends what little free time she has with her nose buried in a good book.

Joy's motto for parenting, homeschooling, and even business is “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” And that's what FiveJs.com is all about — teaching our children to "fish."
